sadclowncentral:

what a great day to remember that we should not colonize mars, the whole concept is anthropocentric, imperialist, unrealistic and just weird, and the idea of establishing the same capitalistic systems that have turned out to be our downfall on another planet instead of solving problems on earth is so incredibly short-sighted and power fantasy driven that it makes me want to eat glass. the exploration of outer space should always be expressively and only for the benefit of all humankind, not to fill the pockets of some billionaires with a god complex. fuck elon musk all my homies hate elon musk

  9. comfortcomfortdeercat said: @sadclowncentral yes, if we let the bourgeoisie colonize the solar system, we’ll have the same problems on other planets, but the hominization of Mars doesn’t need to be a capitalist project, it can be just humans making a new place to live. We don’t even need to terraform anywhere, we can just live in domes. IMHO Red Mars needs to be on the reading list of every leftist who wants to talk about extraterrestrial habitation, whether for or against.
